Abstract
Prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid “cherry eye” is caused by defects in the
attachments between the third eyelid gland and periorbita. In this study, the aim was to evaluate
the characteristics of cases and clinical outcomes of Morgan’s pocket technique in the treatment
of dogs with prolapse of the gland of the third eyelid. In this context, the characteristics of the
cases were examined in 12 dogs diagnosed with “cherry eye”. The breeds were Cane Corso,
Beagle, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Central Asian Shepherd Dog and mixed breed. All dogs underwent
surgical treatment with Morgan’s pocket technique, and the clinical results, recurrence and
complications were evaluated in all 12 dogs (20 eyes).The success rate of the 12 patients (20 eyes) without recurrence was 100% (12 cases). The complication rate in terms of infection was
8% (one eye). Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that the Morgan’s pocket
technique can be considered a reliable procedure for the repositioning of a prolapsed gland of the
third eyelid. This technique is easily applicable with a high success rate. Due to the low
recurrence and complication rates, it can be considered a highly reliable technique.
